#3 Use Newspapers
Another method to exterminate weeds, is to smother them with layers of newspapers. Common weeds like Broad Leaf Pepper Tree and Camphor Laurel can be removed using this technique. Place newspapers over weeds with weights to block sunlight from reaching the low growing plant.

#4 Salt
Another technique to kill weeds naturally involves salt. Stock up rock salt and sprinkle it on weeds. Salt serves as a great weed barrier. When used properly, you can prevent weed growth in the long run. Nevertheless, you should use salt wisely. This is because salt can leave the ground barren for a very long time.
